The Unknown

Chapter 2

"Wake up!" Shouted a person. I felt rough hands trying to shake me awake. "Leave me alone," My raspy voice muttered. I felt a shot of pain go onto my left check and that got me up feeling defensive. "What the hell! Why would you wake me up in the middle of the night," I screamed. "Well unless you want to die here, I insist that you get up," shouted another voice. Once I finally got my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I realized that I was in the middle of the woods.

It took me a minute to remember why I'm here, and I got up to be face to face with 5 masked freaks. My heart quickened at the sight before me, and my greatest desire right now is to be safe at home. "My family is probably worried sick about me now sooooo," I drifted off before I could find the right words to say. "I should probably be hedging back home and yeah. . . . bye now." I turned around and the next thing I knew, I was being shoved into a tree. "Your not going anywhere until we are done playing game number 1." His blue eyes looks so familiar. Then realization struck me like I was hit by a lightning bolt. This freak was the one who I saw in my room, and after I feel out my window. My whole body began to shake with fear and there is nothing I could do to stop the shaking. "What's your names?" I questioned them with my shaken voice. "We can't tell you our names silly." The freak holding me against the tree said with amusement in his deep voice. "C-can't y-you just make up random names or number your selves t-to make things easier for m-me?" my quivering voice stuttered. "If that's what you want then I'll be number 1. I'm pretty much their leader. You can call that short one over there, rock. He doesn't talk much."

"You can call me speedy," Said speedy, who is the only one that isn't wearing everything black due to his wight shoes.

"Call me fist." Fist is pretty tall, but none of them are as tall as speedy.

"I'm going to be.... Umm red?" Red stated more like a question.

"Alright! Here is how the game will go. You have to find your way out of the woods and back home. If any of us catches you," he chuckled. "That your going to find out." 1 released me from his tight grip. watching the masked people in horror, I am about to explode from the amount of fear that is bottled up inside of me. I didn't even know I was crying until 1 wiped my tear away with his thumb, only making me cry harder. "Awe baby dont worry it's only a game, and this day might be your last. It's not a big deal." His observant eyes watched me as he baby talked to me. I swiped his hand away from my cheek and made a run for it. As I was running, I felt thick arms fasten around me, and I tried to squirm my way out of the persons firm grip to freedom. "Why can't you just leave me alone!" I cried while wiggling around in 1's muscular arms. "But that would be no fun." Red whined. "Enough!" 1 called out before I felt a sharp knife being placed to my neck. "We will give you a five minute start then we are coming after you. You start in 3,2,1." 1's threatening tone gave me the unpleasant shivers, and I felt him release me at his own number. I began panting and running at a fast paise while trying to block the branches as they hit my face, but I fail even at the simplistic things in this nightmare. How am I going to survive if I can't even block branches from hitting my face? I thought while panicking. I wish I never fell out the window, then I would have never met these freaks and never broke my right arm. As I continued running, my heart thumped at fast past due to fear, panicking, and running. At times like this, I wish I had a watch so I could know how long I have been running for. I need to think of a plan, fast! Maybe climb a tree and look for an exit? Or climb a tree and stay there until morning so I would know I'm safe? Maybe climb a tree and try to jump from tree to tree? If that's even possible. I thought. I begin to take in my surroundings so that I could find a good enough tree to climb. My running came to a stop when I hit something hart and fell on my back. What the hell? Hey the tree that I just bumped into looks easy to climb. I thought. But wait! How am I suppose to climb this tree with a broken arm? I guess I'm going to have to hide.

I began to look for a hiding spot, but I tripped over the roots of a tree. Then I felt something press into me and remembered that I still have my phone. I could finally text my parents to help me! I took my phone out and the sight of it brought me to tears. The screen was badly damaged with 3 holes that looks like bullets had gone through it. How dare they! I care about my phone more then my self! I'd even die for my phone. Oh wait I got another idea. While they are searching for me, I will throw my phone as far as I can when there is no one in sight. Then I will run as far away from my phone as possible.

Right when I was about to throw my iPhone, I start thinking to myself again. What if one of the guys see where the direction of the phone came from? I'm going to have to put my phone at the bottom of the tree I bumped into. Then I will have my chance of running off and maybe surviving this death trap. Going forward with my plan, just when I was about to place my phone down, I heard a branch snap. Panic seeps through me and I begin to run off, but my attempt only made me shoved to the ground. "I found you girlie," The stranger said and lifted me up. Are you just going to sit there and let him take you away? My thoughts screamed at me. I elbowed him as hard as I can, aiming for his neck. I felt arms loosen and I took this as an opportunity to punch his nose but, he had already tackled me to the ground again. I shut my eyes trying to prepare myself for what's to come next, but instead I heard something that sounds like clapping. "Well done Fist, well done." I slowly opened my eyes to see that all of the 5 freaks are surrounding me. "So Julia. Do you give up?" Said one of the boys who I believe called himself Red. "Please don't kill me," I said while sobbing.

It looked like 1 was going to say something but he was cut off by the sound of a gun. By the looks it no one got hurt. 7 guys appeared from the darkness and aimed their guns at us. "Alright boys! We can take it from here." One of the 7 dudes said while threatening to shoot us. I felt rough hands throw me over his shoulders, and I was being taken away. I knew it was speedy because of his white shoes. I'm so scared that I'm about to pee my pants. "What's going on?" My voice that's still quivering questioned. That's when I heard a gun shot, and speedy went down with me still over his shoulder. "Hey! Hey are you okay? Are you hurt? Can someone tell me what the hell is going on here?" I asked as my tears came rushing down my cheeks. "Run." Speedy quietly said. "What? No I'm not leaving! Where were you shot!"

"Run Julia! Run! They are gonna kill you! Don't worry about me. I'm fine." He shouted and used the tree to help him get up. I could tell that the bullet affected his leg from the amount of blood surrounding the wound. I was about to faint from how disgusting it looked, but I had to force myself to look away. "Just go Julia! I'm fine." He screeched and I was back on my feet running. In the background I heard gun fires going off, and I made the mistake of looking back while sprinting. I tripped over my own shoe and got back up as fast as I could. I'm happy to see that speedy is right behind me, but he's still limping a little bit. "We turn left if you want to leave this forest." Like it isn't obvious of how badly I want to get out of here. "Yeah okay thanks man!" I hollered over my shoulder. I turned left and smacked into what I think was a tree. I took 3 large steps back and saw that it was one of the 7 dudes. My heart begins to quicken as fear consumes me. I was pushed out of the way and a short man I believe is called Rock, pulls out his gun. Right when he pulled his gun out, the boy stabbed his neck. After he killed Rock, the boy took his gun out and shot speedy. Everything turned slow motion to me as I watched Speedy collapse to the ground, dead. Guilt begins to take its hold on me. It's all my fault that they are dead! I didn't even know there real names! I looked up and stared at the killer for a good 2 seconds before taking off running. I don't even know where speedy was shot at, but I'm not going to risk my own life going back. I know that I should be staying with speedy to see if he's okay, but what's the point? He's as good as dead anyways. When I heard branches braking behind me, my speed increased from the amount of fear that's pushing me forward. I have been running for 32 minuets and my speed is beginning to decrease because of how tired I'm getting. The next thing I now, I was listening to the gunshot next to my right ear and I completely froze before face planting into the ground. I was about to get up, but I noticed I was in a puddle of blood. But who's blood? Is this fake blood? Calm down Julia it's just fake blood. No! You are not gong to pass out now! Snap out of it Julia! I kept thinking to myself that it's only fake until I saw who's blood this belongs to. I saw 1 covered with his own blood. He wasn't even breathing because he's dead. Dead because of me. He was spotted by Rock's plus Speedy's killer because of me. I begin to see black dots clouding my vision. Then I was was surrounded in complete blackness.
